my prism 54g card needs firmware to be installed from the orignal cd that came with it; have you installed such firmware ? /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890 is the filename I had to give it (on the cd it was called isl3890.arm) the dmesg command will show the kernel log; the driver should spew there which filename it is expecting and failing to load see also http://www.prism54.org/ btw; the driver is included in your kernel already but that site might provide useful resources on how to do the firmware etc etc Thank you so much for your helpfulness. I install the isl3890 and bang--it works fine. This is a lot easier than before when i had to compile modules etc. Now, if you can just get the kernel to not lockup when other things don't work. thank you |
